Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Our cricothyroidotomy task trainer. Simple and cost effective.

When creating this simulator, our main focus was on functionality and affordability, due to the destructive nature of cric training. It has all the important landmarks (including hyoid bone), mobile larynx (for the laryngeal handshake), easy to replace cricothyroid membrane and much more.

The trainer now comes with bleeding pads to enhance the realism of your training sessions.

Use it to teach

needle and surgical cricothyroidotomy
FONA (front of neck access) airway management
anatomy and landmarks important to the cric procedure

Main features

Made using real data – various MRI scans and photogrammetry files were used to design the trainer.
Hand-made with attention to detail – prosthetic grade silicone and power mesh make the models both realistic and durable.
Realistic landmarks – thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, hyoid bone and sternal notch.
Tape membrane – duct tape is used for the cricothyroid membrane, not only because it is cheap but because it is similar to the real thing, based on literature and our own animal tissue research.
Inside view – added after studying the most common injuries that happen during cricothyroidotomy; important to check cut depth and ET tube insertion angles.
